Sheltering Sky - Kay Hanley

It was a gift to forget what I said

'Cause what you heard

Those were just empty words

Like a blast it’s a telling telegraph from the past

Was it the empty things

That are gonna last?

And it made me free

The way I wanna fly

In your sheltering sky

Redemption was like

A ticker tape parade

Keep my mouth shut smile and wave

With a fistful of luck this is a stickup

So now you now the world is saved

From lipstick boobs and babes

And it made me free…

So the words hurt and my head said

You got the fire lit

So now I get it

I’ll live for you if you live for me too
